Remember, remember, it’s the month of September. Roll into the first weekend with a visit to these new restaurants and attractions.

If walking through back alleys isn’t your thing, you might want to make an exception for Geylang. Nestled behind one of the shops along Geylang Road is the new Hideout Coffee Bar, where a cosy space and uncomplicated coffee and sandwiches await you. 

Choose from Black, White, and Espresso Ale coffee options — or go for the Genmaicha or Matcha if you prefer tea. Pair your drink with one of their classic sandwiches, like the PB&J, Tuna Melts, Beef Brisket, or Meatballs.

Apart from the homey yet delicious menu, we also love their cute and cosy little space. They have a corner for small parties, and you can watch the baristas create their caffeine-loaded masterpieces up close. This humble cafe is perfect for hanging out with your besties!

At Art of the Brick, you’ll get to see some of the world’s most iconic artworks built with LEGO bricks. We’re talking about masterpieces like Van Gogh’s A Starry Night, Michelangelo’s David, and the Mona Lisa. It’s no wonder why this exhibit that took the world by storm is in CNN’s list of “Must-See” exhibitions — every piece is so meticulously built by artist Nathan Sawaya, that they look so similar to their original counterparts.

For those going with kids, don’t forget to take them to the 6-metre-long T-Rex installation — it’s one of the biggest highlights of the exhibit.
